Kaspa protocol continues to progress in the blockchain development space with its transition to 10 blocks per second under the Crescendo Hardfork upgrade.
Crescendo Hardfork and Its Significance
Kaspa announced its Crescendo Hardfork upgrade, aiming to increase the block rate from 1 to 10 blocks per second. This upgrade is expected to significantly enhance the network's efficiency.
Successful TN10 Transition
Recently, Kaspa announced on X that Testnet 10 (TN10) fully transitioned to 10 blocks per second. This is a milestone for the blockchain following the Hardfork activation on March 7, 2025. According to a Kaspa developer, the transition on TN10 involved extensive validation of Initial Block Download, Post-Pruning Behavior, and Transaction Ordering, confirming the upgrade's logic correctness.
Future Plans and GHOSTDAG
Now that 10 BPS has been achieved, Kaspa will focus on other innovations outlined in the roadmap. The main Hardfork version is expected to be finalized by the end of March. TN10 aims to transform Kaspa into one of the swiftest PoW blockchains, thanks to its revolutionary GHOSTDAG protocol, which enables parallel creation and confirmation of blocks.
With the transition to 10 BPS and the use of GHOSTDAG, Kaspa is set to usher in a new era in blockchain technology, opening up new opportunities for decentralized infrastructure.
